[pjames32]

Headlights on my Deuce are '34 repops w/turn signals built in. Body is steel. Engine is a 348. Car has been on the road since 2006. First shakedown trip was 2500 miles to the LA Roadster show. It is a fun ride!

I have my grandfathers ford galaxies. 64 and 65. They sat in the garage and where started and ran for 1/2 hr every month for 40 years. The 64 has 72000 miles and the 65 has 11000 (yes 11000, he bought brand new). Need a better pic of them.

[ph4570]

11,000 miles -- sweet.

I had a 62 Galaxy with a 390. I got along pretty good for a big heavy car. It was a comfortable ride.

[Skunk1]

65 has a 390 also. Fully loaded car. The 64 has 352 with a vintage 60's aftermarket air.

I just went through all ya motors page by page, sure is some nice units! Kind of dominated by yank tanks though

Time to add an Aussie classic for you all, my pride for a good ten years till unfortunately the time came she had to go



1972 HQ Holden Kingswood wagon. Classic package 202 (6 banger) three on the tree limited slip bango diff.
Traveled all over Australia in her (and lived in her for a while). Comfort plus! A 12 hour drive in one day.....not a problem.

Here you go, 41 Ford Business Coupe and 49 Ford Tudor Deluxe

[popper]

Wish I still had this one, first car. Rebuilt motor & sold to shop manager at Hunter's Point yard in 65. Ran out of money (for tires & batteries) to get it back to midwest where I had planned to drop a 283 in it. Total weight would go down ~400#. Looks just like I left it but without the extra fog lamps. I paid $600,plus $1200/yr for insurance (single, under 25, sports car in Ca.), sold for $900. Aluminum doors & trunk, 2500 cc 4 banger A-H 100 BN1. Haven't been able to track back ownership on this one but it is northern Ca.

May not qualify as nice to many, but it was a sleeper...in more ways than one.



And then I dropped one of these in to it.

[vwpieces]

Pretty cool vanagon.
Helped with headliner install in this 70 bus.

[popper]

Vwpeices - is that the same motor as in the earlier 'mean green machine'? Frame is different and looks like the head fins are also. I thought they made a 750 version but was told it wasn't factory.

I think you are questioning my blue Kawi?

Not Shure what the "mean green machine" is. The 71 H1 500 is pretty much stock except for the pipes. In 72 they started offering the H2 in 750 & became known as the "widow maker". 500 is enough for me. Frame is inadequate, drum brakes & fast. I usually say to people... have you ridden a 125 dirt bike? this is like 3 of them... but it's not really. Bought the H1 in 1990 for $125. This one is by no means perfect but I have seen really nice ones sell @ 10K+. All the work was done myself except shooting some paint. I rebuilt the engine & transmission... I also laced & trued the wheels.
